Battery Voltage Sensor (BVS): The battery voltage sensor is polarity sensitive and should be used if the adventurer will be installed with longer line runs. In longer runs, due to connection and cable resistance, there can be discrepancies in the voltages at the battery terminals. -
Page 9: Installation
The front of the Adventurer will serve as a heat sink, therefore it is important to ensure that the mounting location is not near any heat generating sources and ensure that there is proper airflow across the faceplate of the Adventurer to remove the heat dissipated from the surface. -

Page 11: Surface Mount Attachment
Surface Mount Attachment: The charge controller can also be mounted on a flat surface using the Adventurer Surface Mount Attachment. In order to properly mount the charge controller, there is no need to cut a section of the wall considering the charge controller can now be mounted on a flat surface using the attachment. - Page 12 2.Unscrew PV terminals by rotating counterclockwise to open the hatch. Then connect the positive and negative battery connections in their appropriate labeled terminal. 3. Insert temperature sensor block terminal and connect wire. It is not polarity sensitive. (Optional, requires a separate purchase).

4. Insert the battery voltage sensor terminal block in the Batt Remote port. This is polarity sensitive. (Optional, requires a separate purchase). WARNING If unscrewing the Battery Voltage Sensor terminal block, make sure to not mix the wires. It is polarity sensitive and may cause damage to the controller if connected incorrectly. Operation After connecting the battery to the charge controller, the controller will turn on automatically. -

Page 16: Pwm Technology
PWM Technology The Adventurer utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology for battery charging. Battery charging is a current based process so controlling the current will control the battery voltage. For the most accurate return of capacity, and for the prevention of excessive gassing pressure, the battery is required to be controlled by specified voltage regulation set points for Absorption, Float, and Equalization charging stages. -
Page 17: System Status Troubleshooting
Equalization: Is carried out every 28 days of the month. It is intentional overcharging of the battery for a controlled period of time. Certain types of batteries benefit from periodic equalizing charge, which can stir the electrolyte, balance battery voltage and complete chemical reaction. -
